The Firehose Project is closed
This school is now closed. Although The Firehose Project is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and The Firehose Project alumni reviews on the school page.
[The Firehose Project has been acquired by Trilogy Education.] The Firehose Project is a full-time, 22-week and part-time, 42-week online coding bootcamp that combines expert one-on-one training with a customized, robust curriculum and a worldwide student support community. Students start coding on day one and are paired with a senior software engineer mentor to build their coding skills. Students also have access to a proprietary Q&A forum and technical office hours. Graduates will develop algorithms, design complex data structures, and learn fundamental computer science principles while building a portfolio of advanced web applications that work with APIs, user authentication, advanced database relationships, video streaming, and more.
Firehose has also launched a new job track designed to prepare students with everything they need to optimize their job search as a new developer and make their transition from bootcamp graduate to employed developer as smooth and swift as possible. Firehose worked with technical recruiters, alumni, senior developers, and partnered with BrandYourself, the leader in online reputation management as seen on Shark Tank, to engineer a track that provides students with optimal job preparation resources.
The course material of The Firehose Project has a good flow that it holds your hands in the beginning and slowly make you do stuff on your own. Then enforces it with repetition with the creation of full-fledged applications.
The support team reaches out often. Code reviews, feedbacks in an instant. You get it in 15 - 30 minutes in the forum aside from having a 1-on-1 mentor access.

I've taken 20 lessons so far in the Intro to Software Engineering course, which is a prep course for deciding on whether or not a bootcamp is the direction you'd want to go in. So far, the videos have been very high quality, easy to follow along with and descriptive. Some of the definitions have been a little lacking in my honest opinion because they tend to be less metaphor based (don't always have the novice in mind) but overall it's very high quality. This is not really an issue because...
I've taken 20 lessons so far in the Intro to Software Engineering course, which is a prep course for deciding on whether or not a bootcamp is the direction you'd want to go in. So far, the videos have been very high quality, easy to follow along with and descriptive. Some of the definitions have been a little lacking in my honest opinion because they tend to be less metaphor based (don't always have the novice in mind) but overall it's very high quality. This is not really an issue because you can google a term and another website like ruby for beginners at Ruby Monstas gave me some really in-depth and clear explanations for terms that weren't quite clicking with me the first time I read them on Firehose. Very good program structure overall.
I am having a nice time learning to code, I started with prep and finding it interesting and motivating. I am learning it at my own phase (taking few steps at a time due other personel commitments). Now, have a idea what coding is all about. Hoping to learn more.
Thanks to ken mazaika and his team.

I have just finished going through the prepwork at The Firehose Project. I would like to say how impressed I am with the amount of support I received while working through the prepwork, even though it was completely free. I have worked through another bootcamps(which i won't mention) prepwork and although the work itself was great and informative I did not have any support through it and therefore was unsure if the code I wrote was good, bad or ugly.

I am looking forward to getting stuck into the full program at The Firehose Project and will come back here to write a full review!! Coming soon... to a web browser near you!
I'm having an awesome experience with Firehose Project, as in the beginning it felt like a new journey in the coding world is about to start. I've learn a bit of coding from some other free sources but none were like this. It's great how Ken explains everything and makes it easy to understand. Too bad that my Firehose journey ends with the preparation course, as I don't have enough money for the full program. Anyway, Firehose it's great and I'm very happy that I found it!
The free course is a good introduction to coding in Ruby and gave me a deeper understanding of the relationship between HTML and CSS.
The paid course i feel would be a good learning experience if i had a massive amount of spare cash and time, to expensive for normal people, more than my current mortgage.
I'm only on the third week with The Firehose Project bootcamp and so far, I love it. I've had a few hiccups along the way because I'm completely new to coding and I've made A LOT of typing errors, not knowing excactly what each character represented or meant in the programing language. However, the staff, mentors, and fellow students were with me the entire time helping me to figure out what I did wrong and kept encouraging me to push forward and grow.&nbs...

really horrible program
they dont care about you or your work
I've only tackled the intro course through Firehose and will start my official day next week. However, for a quick overview of my experience thus far, I am pleasently surprised. I've worked through Treehouse and codeacademy for the past 6 months and it was fine. The interface to learn, the excercises and modules from Firehose all illicit a deeper learning than anything I've tried. It is forcing the concept of deliberate practice on you, which is tough, but rewarding. I've also interact...
I've only tackled the intro course through Firehose and will start my official day next week. However, for a quick overview of my experience thus far, I am pleasently surprised. I've worked through Treehouse and codeacademy for the past 6 months and it was fine. The interface to learn, the excercises and modules from Firehose all illicit a deeper learning than anything I've tried. It is forcing the concept of deliberate practice on you, which is tough, but rewarding. I've also interacted via email with instructors from Firehose that review your code and provide constructive criticism. This is essential in terms of skill development and I am excited to see where I will be in 22 weeks after I finish the course. So far, I am very happy with my choice, which took me over a year of research to finally commit to. Firehose is set up perfectly for you to succeed, all you have to do is show up and work.
I am only giving 4 stars because I haven't started the official course - I will update in August 2017 after I am finished.
